    • Background: Elevated troponin levels, in patients without myocardial infarction (MI), are associated with increased mortality. In an observational cohort study we aimed to assess how patients with elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels, and no MI are investigated and followed up, compared to patients with MI. Methods: During January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012, all patients > 25 years of age, with chest pain and elevated hs-cTnT levels or MI, at the Karolinska University Hospital were included. We calculated risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for echocardiographies, stress tests, and follow-up, and compared medication in patients with and without MI. Results: 1848 patients with elevated hs-cTnT levels but no MI, of whom 871 (47%) had no prior heart disease, and 667 patients with MI were included. Echocardiography was performed in 609 patients (33%) without MI and 580 (87%) with MI (adjusted RR 0.42; 95% CI, 0.37-0.48). Follow-up was planned for 856 (46%) patients without MI and 611 (92%) with MI (adjusted RR 0.54; 95% CI, 0.48-0.60). Among patients without MI and no heart disease who underwent echocardiography 46 (14%) had a left ventricular ejection fraction of <= 40%, and on stress tests 27 (37%) had findings associated with ischemia. Platelet inhibitors and statins were started in 266 (25%) and 199 (17%) patients without MI, respectively, compared with 424 (93%), and 416 (86%) patients with MI. Conclusions: Patients with elevated hs-cTnT levels and no MI are rarely investigated for detection of cardiac disease or followed up, or started on cardiovascular medication that potentially could prevent future cardiovascular events and death.
